Overview
A scoped virtual-disk change with checkpoint handling, guest storage inspection, and final NTFS validation.
Classification: Validated lab work.
Operational scenario & objectives
Expand the intended virtual disk safely, account for checkpoint relationships, and validate the resulting guest storage layout.
Environment & technologies
APP01 on nested Hyper-V, with host-side virtual disk state and guest-side partition/filesystem validation.

Project 07 · COMPLETE
APP01 Hyper-V Storage Expansion
A documented Hyper-V storage expansion showing change control, guest validation, and before/after state.
Change
Virtual disk and filesystem expansion
APP01 storage was expanded through the virtualization layer and then validated inside Windows. The project documents capacity before and after the change and confirms the filesystem recognized the additional space.
Method
Smallest necessary change
The task was handled as a scoped infrastructure change: inspect state, expand the correct virtual disk, rescan/extend the guest volume, then capture post-change validation.
Validation
Before/after state preserved
The documented workflow records storage state before expansion, the virtualization-side change, guest detection, volume extension, and final free-space validation. No separate public evidence artifact is currently linked from this rebuilt page.
The original case-study narrative and linked evidence provide the detailed record for this project.
Troubleshooting
The documented workflow accounts for checkpoints and the active VHDX before modifying storage. Final host and guest observations are retained as separate evidence.
Validation & results
Before/after host and guest evidence supports the scoped virtual-disk and NTFS storage administration work.
Evidence
STRONG — checkpoint/VHDX relationship handling, expansion, guest partition review, NTFS provisioning, and before/after validation are represented.
